On "In Defense of Copyright Law" by Doug Isenberg

Yet many of those same critics refuse to recognize
that the law applies equally to every copyright
owner, from starving artists to The Walt Disney
Company, as well as everyone in between.

This is almost too easy. Yup, equally. In
exactly the same sort of this equality:

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as
the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to
steal bread"

Anatole France, Le Lys Rouge [1894], chapter 7

How many starving artists were helped by a retrospective
copyright extension? That's a trick question. The answer is
NONE. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DEAD!. Not dead because
they are starving. But dead because prior copyright didn't expire
until they had been in their graves for decades. Now it's more decades.
So:

The law, in its majestic equality, applies equally to the rich existing
corporations as well as the long-dead poor artists ...

And that's just one sentence.

Sigh. I know, the idea is to stir the pot, to get noticed by
saying outrageous things.
All part of the journo-game. And I suppose I just got sucked into it.
